I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and discover strategies for positive change. Through my expertise and genuine care, clients can expect a supportive therapeutic experience that fosters personal growth and enhances their overall quality of life.
In our initial session, we’ll begin with brief introductions, obtain relevent background information, and then delve into the specific challenges you’re encountering. This process will enable me to develop a customized plan for our subsequent sessions.
As an LPC, my biggest strengths in treating clients with stress, anxiety, depression, and other issues lie in my empathetic and compassionate approach, my ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients, and my expertise in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I am dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique needs of each client, helping them gain insight, develop coping strategies, and find effective solutions. With my support, clients can expect a supportive therapeutic experience that fosters personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

For the past several years, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a cornerstone of my therapeutic approach. It has empowered numerous clients to confront persistent thoughts and better regulate their symptoms. Through CBT, we will explore the interplay between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. With this understanding, we’ll work towards altering your cognitive processes, aiming to cultivate a life with reduced symptoms.
As an LPC, I employ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients navigate emotional turmoil. This therapy blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness, enhancing emotional regulation and interpersonal skills through individual sessions. I guide clients to apply these skills practically, fostering a balanced, mindful, and emotionally resilient life.
In my counseling practice, I harness the power of Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients unearth their own motivations for change. This client-centered approach allows me to guide conversations in a way that empowers clients to explore their ambivalence and commit to positive life changes. By actively listening and reflecting, I foster a collaborative environment where clients feel understood and supported in their journey towards personal growth.
In my practice, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients envision and achieve their preferred future. By focusing on their existing resources and strengths, we collaboratively develop strategies for change. SFBT’s future-oriented questions and emphasis on client successes guide our sessions, allowing for brief yet impactful therapy.
In my counseling sessions, I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy to enhance clients’ awareness and presence in the moment. This approach aids in recognizing and accepting their thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a therapeutic process that encourages personal acceptance and change. It’s a powerful tool for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.
